Our Commitment › Greening where we live
Green is in our
nature
We strive to make the environment an integral part of "how we do things at TD" by focusing on the following key areas:
- Understanding the transition toward a low carbon economy;
- Eco-efficiency in our business operations;
- Supporting and enabling responsible financing and investing;
- Providing customers with green banking choices.
TD Forests
We’re helping to protect North American forests large and small. We collaborate with over 1,000 environmental and community groups each year, protecting critical forest habitats, enhancing neighbourhood parks and supporting educational programs.
Protecting critical forest habitat
We have teamed up with the Nature Conservancy of Canada and The Nature Conservancy in the U.S. to help protect critical forest habitats from coast to coast.
Greening our communities
TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF)
With the support of more than 150,000 donors, TD FEF has provided approximately $70 million to over 23,000 environmental projects and programs across Canada.
TD FEF’s unique structure ensures that 100% of every dollar donated in a community is directly invested in environmental programs in that community.

Our Stories
TD Tree Days
Through TD Tree Days, TD employees, their friends and families, and our customers work together to help grow and care for our urban forests.
These local tree plantings are a tangible, meaningful – and fun – way for volunteers to demonstrate their commitment to forest stewardship and their communities.
Since 2010, thousands of volunteers – from Brownies to bankers – have planted over 185,000 trees in hundreds of communities across North America, in the U.K. and in Luxembourg.

TD Green Streets: Supporting innovation in urban forestry
With the support of TD Green Streets grants, municipalities are developing innovative projects to help grow and care for their urban forests and increase community green spaces.
Some of the leading-edge projects that we have supported include bio-swales, rain gardens, citizen pruner programs, urban orchards and “forest classrooms.”
